Re: P.O.E Season 3 : Round 3 - "Mythical Tales"
Woah, I didn't even put that taco in my last post and it magically got there. It's fate.
Vid 1: L-O-FREAKING-L, I'm sorry but that masked part at 0:29 made me laugh a little too hard. Other than that, the crossover bits are good. You got the mood right for each part too. Though the lip sync could be tighter and some of the facial expressions could have matched better. Some other technical stuff like bad quality on a lot of parts (that you probably over-zoomed) and some frame blending. But overall it's a good vid, and it'll definitely be something I keep when this gets polished for an org version.
Vid 2: The story's good, but I don't really like the editing that much. The sync's not there at all for me, and some of the cuts are pretty harsh.
Vid 3: Awww, and here I thought they were gonna be killing the wolf girl. The Hellsing Ultimate bits were out of place and way too noticeable. At one point I thought this was an attempted thriller version of Twilight. Also, you really need intense sync with this kind of song or else it gets boring quick. Not many of the super loud beats were hit so you don't feel the impact that you would want here. Overall looked promising but didn't sell at all for me in the end.
Vid 4: Oh my lord the crossfades. SO MANY FREAKING CROSSFADES. >___> Tons of respect for the Mawaru Penguindrum usage though. Some gripes: again, the crossfades. There was a good amount of lip flap here too. Also, your story was all over the place. You added all of these characters that were irrelevant to the story you were trying to portray (even though they matched the lyrics but that's besides the point), when it should have been just Himari and the brothers. Overall you main story was good, but less crossfades and removal of irrelevant characters are needed. Oh and 0:35-0:37 was perfect.
Vid 5: OH MY GOD THIS IS JUST SOMETHING ELSE, I MEAN I MIGHT BE BIASED RIGHT NOW BUT GOD. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO SARA BAREILLES ;________________________; Okay seriously. Good editing, but lazy scene selection. Too many OPs and EDs that didn't even fit. Lots of pans needed here too, a good amount of clips were really, really static. OKAY THAT'S IT BACK TO FANBOYING. MAN THIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD AND I SERIOUSLY LOVE WHOEVER MADE THIS VID. SERIOUSLY. PLEASE LET ME BETA TEST THIS FOR YOU BEFORE YOU PUT THIS ON THE ORG. The world needs more amazing Sara Bareilles vids and this would be one of the besterestest after some really good polishing.
Vid 6: Man those really long parts of black in the beginning make me really sad. You had a whole 3 1/2 seconds of black at 0:50. You could have definitely filled in something there. The story was sorta promising, but I didn't feel any sense of closure to the story at the end. She beat Lancer and then what? We were back to basically the beginning of the story and nothing happened. No progress at all. It felt like you just tried to curve the story into a typical action vid with really, really tiny hints of the story being there.
Vid 7: Oh hey I just downloaded this anime the other day. I have some problems with the sync on a few parts, and some hardcuts shouldn't have been hardcuts. But overall I thought it was a pretty solid vid with good storytelling.
Vid 8: I didn't really get the story when I watched it so I won't comment on it. As a stand alone video, I think it's pretty average. I didn't like the sync overall, but you managed to hit the nail on the impact near the end. And...yeah. That's pretty much it <___<
Vid 9: Ooooh, I like this. Really creative typography going on. It's really good in the first half, but the second half falls pretty hard in the sync department. So many long clips on such a high impact, fast paced part of the song. Also that overlay was too much near the ending (around 2:10). It was way too harsh and ruined the picture for me, especially at the clip where she falls. Some panning needed on a good amount of parts too. But overall, great storytelling here. I've never watched the anime so I don't know if this was the original story, but it gave me feels. ;__;
My top tres would probably be 5, 1, and 9 (in order). Have a taco, friends.
Oh and props for no drops again this round!

Re: P.O.E Season 3 : Round 3 - "Mythical Tales"
5, 6, and 7 are my favorites for this round. (Extra special for video number 7. I understood what you were trying to convey while still having a pretty original spin on it. Then again, I'm probably biased since Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale. )

EDIT: And a message to you guys that dropped, you suck. Seriously MeleeChampion freakin' IC'd a video in 2 hours last round and still made something better than you did. Why is that you ask? Because you made NOTHING. If your schedule wasn't going to work out you should've dropped at the start of the round so someone who didn't make it last round could've taken your spot. At least some of them still really wanted to edit. Not cool bro. NOT COOL. GUILT TRIP!

Re: P.O.E Season 3 : Round 3 - "Mythical Tales"
haha, we'll see about that
I'd also like to mention that for this round we actually watched all the videos as a group on skype and plan to do the same for the next two rounds.
If anyone who participated in Org Editor (whether you're still in it or out) would like to join us for the next round of videos then just hit me up on skype on the day of the deadline so I know to message you when we do it.

I guess that nobody plans on writing reviews for the non-competing entries *whatevs* My scores are done. I always wait to read everyone's reviews till after I finalize mine (in order to not be influenced by them).
